tht is some serious business. a 20-25M range AM (Mkhitaryan most likely, maybe someone else will pop up before the summer), 2 biggest youth prospects in the country in Rugani and Berardi, a decent striker (better than current Llorente > improvement) in Zaza, (possibly) Vrsaljko who plays great for Sassuolo this season, and using our option(s) to buy the player(s) we loaned last summer. depending on the AM we sign i rate this as a 7/10 - 10/10 mercato...

-We got Rugani for what, 4.5m to be paid over 4 years? What a steal
-Berardi comes for 15m, not sure what Juve will do with Zaza.
-Mkhitaryan comes thanks to Raiola relationship (which people don't seem to want to acknowledge as a good thing)
-Asamoah back from injury.
-Barzagli back from injury
-Stuaro, can't wait to see how (if) he develops but for the fee and the potential we should be happy this went through.

Out of that we potentially have a CB that can walk into this team and contribute and two players (Berardi & Mkhitaryan) to improve our starting 11 but most importantly our attack. Two players that are painful to defend against.

And possibly all of this without sales of any key players.

I feel like badass is working on a massive post. He is too quiet.

Half of this forum would be a Llorente improvement, we should still aim higher


We still fail massively to address our ridiculous lack of width, and we spend 30M on players we could have purchased properly a long time ago, and loaned them out like any normal club would do, and avoided a ridiculous 30M fee for 2 of them.

My input. He's a central defender

People keep mentioning width when Allegri doesn't seem to care for it. Why not address the players Allegri wants/needs versus what we all think we want/need?

il nuovo Rugani.

 

[Pirlo's Beard]

Whether Allegri cares about width or not, it's an important part of football at the highest level. I've just about had my fill of watching our full backs kill our attacks because they're trying to do a wingers job.
